Just saw this as well

I think this was the second one delivered in the Toronto area. It occurred in Caledon, Ontario.

Wow that's very unfortunate. I'm curious to learn how this occurred.

What a shame!

It looks like an unused fire extinguisher sits in a box.

Did anyone else notice the nice rack?

I might as well mention it now . . . .

How could you miss it!

I wonder how much a burned and water damaged 918 would sell for...

The front end will come in handy for another 918 that suffers front end damage.

Interesting the passenger rear tire looks largely intact compared with the rest of the rear.

It will be interesting. I really hope it was user error or gas pump error. If it turns out to be a car defect, after the 991 GT3 Fiasco, what an embarrassment for Porsche and their engineering team.
